“Brexit has brought us to a great moment in our history. A moment when we must strengthen our global presence, enhance our lethality, and increase our mass,” Williamson will say in a speech in London.

He will describe the boundaries between peace and war as becoming “blurred” and say that Britain and its allies had to be ready “to use hard power to support our interests”.

It's wild to me that Britain still thinks it is 1880

to give a bit of context, Gavin was kicked out of his old job managing a fireplace company for #metooing the junior staff

also gave himself the plum ministry of defence job while he was chief whip because May has literally no control of her ministers

The party was launched on 20 January 2019 by former UKIP economic spokesperson Catherine Blaiklock.[6]
It was recognised by the United Kingdom Electoral Commission on 5 February 2019 as duly registered to run candidates in any English, Scottish, Welsh and European Union elections.[2][4]

On the day of the launch, Nigel Farage, who has been an independent MEP since his departure from UKIP, stated that the party was Blaiklock's idea,
but that she had acted with his support.[6] In a 24 January 2019 interview, Blaiklock said: "I won't run it without Nigel [Farage],
I'm a nobody and I haven't got any ego to say that I am an anybody", and that: "I'm happy to facilitate Nigel and do the donkey work and work for him, but I don't have any allusions [sic] as to myself".

The assembly doesn't form a government itself, it's a check on the mayor really. They have the power to amend the budget, but it requires a two thirds vote iirc

Independence for... a group of 4 countries.

One of them is across the sea.

The one thing that unites them is their overwhelming whiteness.

Almost as dumb as the Democratic Unionist Party who believe Northern Ireland is at its strongest when part of a political union, but hate the idea of being part of a political union.

Even without a supermajority parties can come together on a vote by vote basis. It is rare though. Mostly they just ask the mayor questions, frown when they don't like the answer, and then the mayor does what they want anyway.

There are 5 million Scots, 3 million Welsh, 1.8 million Northern Irish, and 55 million English (84% of the UK) so if you do everything according to the whims and for the benefit of the majority of people in the UK as a whole, it pretty much is for the English. The other groups are so outnumbered that the English can ignore them and use the names of England and Britain interchangeably without repercussions, which they do.

From what I've seen, there are definitely people in England who love their animal cruelty that much. People get mad if you tell them they can't do fox-tossing or goose-grabbing or whatever.
